   I think it's about like that here in NYS as well, though I'm not sure to be   
   honest.  I think I remember reading that if there are children involved it is   
   especially hard to evict tenents in NYS.. (nice of those landloards, geez)...   
      
   But I don't know or remember anything about pets that owned by a tenant when   
   the ownership changed hands ...

   That doesn't sound like a fun situation there :(   
      
   > I don't miss property management. :)   
      
   I can imagine :)  Before we sold our house in Windsor NY some folks said why   
   don't you rent it??  We couldn't, as we're just not landlord types haha   
      
   >> I wonder if that kind of grandfathering varies from state to state?   
      
   > It might, here in BC if you take over management of a property wygiwys.   
      
   Makes sense really... ;)   
      
   Take care,
